Please tell me what you like best (or dislike most) about the moderates.

Thanks!
 
If you are asking which moderate we like best, hands down it's Coronado Springs Resort!! Great theme, beautiful grounds, comfortable and clean rooms, the BEST food court, the pepper market, and awesome pool and slide! They have the best buses at CSR-we have been during busy times and never had long waits or really crowded buses when staying at CSR compared to some of the other resorts. We also like that CSr does not share buses with any other resorts.They have an internal shuttle if you dont want to walk around great! :sunny:
 
THE PROS
No sharing bus service with other resorts
Centrally located with short rides to the parks and Blizzard Beach
Largest hot tub on WDW property - holds 22
Best main pool area (of the mods) with 3 quiet pools
New shuttle service eliminates long walks to any of the villages
High speed internet service
WiFi avaiable as well
Free use of the gym
Spa
Fridge in the room
Coffeemaker in the room
Iron and ironing board
full room service menu
2 arcades
beautifully landscaped
central air, not a noisey wall unit

THE CONS
Full size beds (kings size beds are available)
one sink

IN THE MIDDLE
The Pepper Market is either a love it or hate it place. We love it but some folks just don't care for it.

Convention resort - some guests don't like seeing other guests at work. Doesn't bother us and helps keep the buses empty. GF, Cont, BW, Y & B Club are also convention resorts.

I'd go CSR.. they have a lot of the same ammenties most of the deluxes do at a fraction of the cost. POFQ is also a great choice too... but Riverside has trundle beds to sleep 5 guests!

Buzz2001 - My family stayed at CSR last year, and loved it. My only question is on the refrigerators. We had a total of 5 rooms in Cabanas 9B, but not a single one of them had a refrigerator. Are they not standard in all rooms? Do you have to request one?
 
All moderate rooms have been upgraded to include a fridge without an upcharge to the price of the room. This has happened within the last year, I believe. Maggie
 
POFQ and POR. I love the theme, the rooms, beds, grounds, smaller size of POFQ, boats to DTD (other moderates only have buses), they're quiet, POR is only resort where we've had towel animals (and everytime we're there; great mousekeeping -room really clean). POR has entertainment at lounge. I don't like main pool at POR (too little kiddy for us).
 
So far, CSR for sure! We loved the pool area and The Pepper Market! The resort is beautiful! :flower:
 
Well, we have only stayed at one - so I will vote for POFQ, the pool is fun and themed very well, the room was fine, the fun & food factory was great, and the transportation to the parks was efficient.
 
We've stayed at POFQ and CBR. We strongly prefer POFQ, mainly because of the size. POR is nice to look at, but we don't want to stay there. We don't mind stopping there on the busses or walking there to eat. We do enjoy being picked up by the bus first because it means we always get a seat, and we especially like being dropped off first after a long day in the parks.

CBR is just too big and spread out. We probably won't ever try CSR for the same reason.
 
POFQ because it is cozy, the beds are great, we like the food court, it isn't too big, the atmosphere is nice. :earsgirl:
 
POFQ.
I like the landscaping, the compact layout of the resort, boat to DD. It is just a nice resort.
 
I voted for POFQ strictly based on size. The theming is great at all of them. They all have a sit down restaurant except POFQ which is a negative for POFQ. When I look at the physical size of the other moderates, I would be afraid of being far away from food court, pool, store, etc. That is important to us for quick meals and mug refills. At some it could be a 20 minutes walk in one direction.
 
We love POFQ! :love: For all the reasons that has already been mentioned.
